Overall Meaning

In "Don't Let Go," Fallen sings about someone who repeatedly makes the same mistakes and refuses to learn from them. The singer seems to be fed up and tells the person to let go of everything and learn their lesson. The repetition of "thing" and "lesson" emphasizes the importance of these concepts in the context of the song. The singer warns the person to keep their name out of their mouth and threatens to "lose [their] fucking mind" if they swear to God again.

The line "When hope can get you so far / All the hate that disgusted you / Why wait" seems to suggest that the person is holding onto hope and ignoring the hate in their life, but the singer is urging them to face the hate and learn from it. The singer then asks the person to always stay true and listen to what they have to say, indicating that the singer may have some wisdom or advice to impart. The final lines of the song, "This life I live is fueled by hate," are repeated several times, driving home the point that for the singer, hate is a powerful motivator.

Overall, "Don't Let Go" is a song about frustration and the struggle to get through to someone who refuses to change their ways. The repetition of certain lines and the emphasis on hate as a motivating force give the song a powerful, almost hypnotic quality.
